Collagen has become one of the biggest wellness trends of the last few years—but is it really worth the investment?

In this episode, Lisa dives into the science behind collagen and explores what actually happens to our connective tissues during perimenopause and menopause. From skin and joints to tendons, fascia, gut health and healthy ageing, you'll discover where collagen fits into the bigger picture—and where it doesn't.

Because healthy ageing isn't about chasing miracle supplements.

It's about building a body that's strong, resilient and capable for decades to come.

In This Episode

⚔️ Why collagen production naturally declines as we age

⚔️ The impact of menopause and oestrogen on collagen

⚔️ The role collagen plays in your skin, joints, tendons, fascia and gut

⚔️ Why collagen isn't a replacement for dietary protein

⚔️ The connection between collagen, strength training and healthy ageing

⚔️ What the research really says—and where the marketing gets it wrong

Key Takeaway

Collagen isn't a miracle supplement—but it may be a valuable addition to your healthy ageing toolkit.

The foundations will always be strength training, adequate protein, quality sleep, movement and recovery.

Collagen simply helps support those foundations.
